Perfect Play

When the stakes are life and death, love is the perfect play. Marsh plays to win. A cowboy with a hacker’s brain, he’ll do whatever it takes to bring down the network that killed his mentor—even if the boldest move is a marriage of convenience. Levi’s barely holding it together. Single...

Special Agent Emmitt Marshall knows how to: Wear a cowboy hat. Hack anything. Win at chess. Fall in love with emotionally unavailable men. He even knows the perfect play to catch the terrorists who killed his mentor. Special Agent Levi Bishop doesn’t know how to: Move on after his wife’s death. Help his grieving son. Pay off his mountain of debt. Fix the mess some cowboy cyber agent made of his case. The same cowboy who proposes a marriage of convenience to stop a common enemy.

Special Agent Levi Bishop needs to: Keep his son and family safe. Prove his boss was framed for a crime she didn’t commit. Convince his selfless cowboy husband that his needs matter too. Make a bold play before love slips through his fingers.

What began as a marriage of convenience is now the rock Marsh and Levi cling to as they enter the endgame. But defeating two kings is no easy feat. They’ll have to make all the right moves and lure their enemies to their side of the board where they have the advantage. But winning may cost them everything—their careers, their lives, and the love that’s become the center of their world.

By Friday, Agents Bishop and Marshall must: Solve an anything-but-routine burglary. Determine why the house’s previous owner was murdered. Avoid getting killed in the process. Because on Saturday, Levi and Marsh must: Keep an overdue promise to their son. Entertain a house full of friends and family. Say “I do” in the wedding their marriage of convenience turned true love deserves. Marsh and Levi are determined to help a friend in need. But they’re already six months late for a very important date.
